Then, the control part 60 switches the floating selection valve 50 to the state as illustrated in FIG. 3 again, thereby performing the bidirectional floating function.
  • the floating function may be temporarily released by the floating release operation part 20, and the floating function, which performs the previous work, may be performed when the floating function is restored again, thereby further improving operational convenience for the worker and work efficiency.
  • a large amount of working fluid, which is discharged from the boom cylinder 1, is discharged through the first drain line t1
  • a small amount of pilot working fluid, which is discharged when spools of the first and second floating valves 30 and 40, and the floating selection valve 50 are controlled is discharged through the second drain line t2.
  • the second drain line t2 is provided in the first, second, third spring chambers 35, 43, and 55 of the first floating valve 30, the second floating valve 40, and the floating selection valve 50, such that it is possible to prevent valve oil leakage in the valves or erroneous operations of the valves in that the spool of each of the valves does not move due to abnormal back pressure.
  • a make-up function using the second floating valve 40 is added when unidirectional floating is performed, such that the working fluid is additionally provided to the descending-side chamber (boom cylinder rod part) 1b when a reverse load is applied to the boom cylinder 10, thereby resolving the problem with rattling that occurs during the operation due to cavitation.
  • the boom cylinder control circuit for a construction machine may be used to implement boom floating when performing flattening work, hardening work, breaking work, and the like.
